Tara is really working the long con. I had suspected the pregnancy results were faked.

One sticking point for me: At one point she was getting checked out at the hospital and Jax was led out of the room. Wouldn't that doctor and nurse have to be in on it? They're going to check well enough to know there wasn't a pregnancy, right?

Or does Tara just say, I know, but you have to respect doctor patient confidentiality?

I had to look up "vaded" - it means when one person gets drunk and another person gets high. Two sides of the same coin. Jax and Venus are like that - both the product of controlling, crazy mothers....one became a criminal thug, the other a transexual - two sides of the same coin.

I think when Venus was explaining how he grew up to Jax, Jax saw his own upbringing. And when he shot Alice, he was hearing Gemma ranting on.

Surprising (but not shocking) that it was Jax, not Tig, who snapped. Tig may be the club's official loose cannon, but Jax has had his share of impulsive violence.

It always amazes me how open-minded the Sons are.

Really. Most MC's are all one skin color and completely racist, or even white supremacy groups. But of course that would not play well on television. So SAMCRO is the only one which is not? Doesn't seem likely at all.

In fact, was there not an episode last season where the Sheriff blackmailed Juice with a threat to tell the others that his Father was Black?

In the real world, Puerto Ricans and whites would be in different gangs.

The big underlying storyline is how the framing of Gemma, and the paperwork Jax signed to strip her of her grandparent rights will affect Nero's decision on ratting out the club for the gun and the other murders. Seems obvious that Nero's loyalty is to Gemma and not the club. Someone (maybe an old ex-prez?) is gonna have to off him in jail to shut him up.

I noticed in the disclaimer that there was a warning for language and violence. I guess prison butt-banging doesn't earn a warning for strong sexual images anymore? I know I can't get it out of my head

I loved the annoyed look on Nero's face. I half-expected him to say, "Could you please keep it down?!? I'm trying to sleep!"

Lowen better catch the first train out of town once Jax figures everything out. Wendy too.

Like Gemma, I was all "Wtf?" when Tara jumped on the corner of the desk. The blood transfusion thing clued me into the fake pregnancy but I didn't expect Tara to frame Gemma like that.

Who the heck would let their kids go to a candy store run by a gang of outlaw bikers that just had their club house blowed up?

I was also surprised that Barofsky ran the plate for Jax since he knew the DA was aware of his SAMCRO connection.

I didn't see Jax blowing Adrienne Barbeaux's brains all over the wall either but then again, she just wouldn't stfu. I'm still surprised he did it before actually finding the kiddie porn.

I could tell by the look in his eye a minute before Jax blew Alice's brains out.

That will give Robocop firsthand knowledge to cut a deal with the DA.

Just my thoughts.

The way I took it, when Jax was hearing Adrienne Barbeaux talk, everything she was saying could fit with Jax's own kids later on. I think it hit really close to home for him and he shot her to get her to stfu.

I've been a little disappointed with this season so far. It's way too soapy compared to previous seasons. Still very watchable, just not quite as good.

It was less soapy than the whole kid in Ireland season which almost lost me as a viewer. And I liked Donal Logue's psycho character. Been a bit Tara heavy in recent episodes but I still like it better than probably the last two seasons.

Agree with this. Tara and Gemma are by far my 2 least favorite characters on the show but I kinda liked the payoff of this episode. At least it got that plot moving. I was tired of watching them sneak around and talk about stuff. Get on with it already!

I started out this season not liking Jax but his character is growing on me again. I think I'd like him a lot better if Tara were out of the picture. Just don't see what he sees in her. Especially now that she's been so cold towards him. I really like what Jax is trying to do for the club even though we know that it's not going to stay this way or the show would get boring in a hurry.

The main thing that bothers me on this show is the BS charges that the police are trying to hold over the club. Tara's charge, for example. I feel that any decent lawyer would eat that case up. No motive. No proof that she knew what Otto was going to do. I'm sure she should be charged with something but accessory to murder is ridiculous.
